Trip to Switzerland: Day 5 - Glacier Express from Visp to Chur

The tiredness was beginning to show on Day 5. We got up a little later than usual. All other days we were up at 5am and started the day early. We had to catch the 8am train to Zermatt, which is were the glacier express starts. But we were still having breakfast then. So we decided to take the train from Interlaken to Visp and take trains from there.
Glacier express takes people on a 6.5 hour journey through snow capped mountains. The scenary is stunning and I highly recommend it. You don't have to pay anything extra if you hold the Swiss Pass. BUT you have to book in advance. We made a mistake by trying to book the previous evening and the train was already fully booked. Hence we had to take the regular train and change at 2 stations. The route though is the same.
The scenary was stunning. Took a lot of pics. Reached Chur at about 15:45 hours. Chur is a small town. We had a rather late lunch and took the train back to Zurich. We checked into Jugendherberge and snoozed early.
That brought to an end our trip to Switzerland. 5 days is enough time to see all the places. Switzerland is God's gift to mankind. Highly recommended to all travellers - especially honeymoon couples.
